“You expect and he will deliver….thats Rahman for Pune tonight……what a team effort….Technically it was perfect….artistically it was mind blowing….and above…Rahman was in his not see but very very humourous mood……few pointers of the Concert as below:-

1) LataJi was the guest of honor……and rahman sir did mention “we all were shivering back stage as Lataji will easily notice if we loose any notes”

2) Radio One RJ did the opening. and then Sitar Player probably Local Pune expert in Sitar set the stage for Sir with his wonderful ragasdone Blaze ask audiences to welcome Sir Rahman…in his unique Style……and then rahman enter from center stage….and song was Jage Hain der Se from GURU……and the orchestra set for rahman was awesome……..

3) It continued with one more Tamil song that i am not familiar but was cool song……….and Rahman say “Pune we will have fun tonight….and thats because we can make some mistakes and i want you to enjoy those….”……

4) Blaze Benny Dayal,Shweta Pandit,Hariharan,Roop kumar Rathod,Sadhna Sargam,Raja Hasan,Rashid Ali and many more did excatly what we all expect…………

Raja Hasan performed on the songs Massakali and Guzarish and also sang Arjiyaan with Maestro A.R.Rahman.

This is what Saurabh says about Raja:

Raja Hasan was confident….and he also shared stage with rahman in arziya…….I must say he stands up to the mark in concert….if i had to find any crack then at masakalli song he underplay himself……but overall raja was fantastic….

and what I feel about raja tonight is he got great future ahead…..God Bless him!!!!!!1
